The Undying Dragons - Campaign Thread

Talis sighs then brings the end of her spear down hard on the ground. At first the party doesn't notice anything, but then small hail pellets fall down upon them. Before they can react, the hail changes to balls of rock hard ice. Avaria, Vonth, Solomona, and Marrin all find themselves in the middle of a sudden ice storm.

(DC 15 Dex Save: On a fail you take 4 bludgeoning and 9 cold (4 cold for Vonth), on a successful save half as much (2 bludgeoning and 4 cold, except 2 cold for Vonth).

The stairs and the next ten feet of ground are covered in ice (difficult terrain - movement halved).

Barely a beat later, a floating spectral spear appears in the air a few feet above Avaria. It stabs downward, but Avaria sees it in time and is able to lean out of the way.

Maelgot and Sorvic step in front of Talis, giving her partial cover, while at the same time they raise the crossbows that have hung at their waists.

One bolt races forwards, striking Marrin in the shoulder (19 to hit for 7 piercing). The other bolt strikes straight at Vonth but his armour deflects the projectile harmlessly to the ground.

The party hears a cacophony of yips, barks and draconic curses from the collection of kobolds who have been watching. Heads disappear behind walls. MDK darts back into the lodge with plans of his own. "Keeps her busy."

((Party is up - Dex saves per above))

Dex save: 11

Marrin's expression turns definitively angry as she is hit with hail then a bolt.

INSIDE

MDK moves quickly, getting in front of Marrin before he steps into the hallway.

"These are not friendly to you," he says, pointing out the statues and suits of armor. He then leads the way through the main hall to the entry way, but then steps to the side so Talis cannot seem him yet. 

 
((Umm, MDK didn't lead us outside just into the front foyer...))

Quote from Rodgeir >>

Marrin follows MDK and smiles a bit as she comes up along side Ava, giving her a friendly nudge and a smile.

 
((Sounds like Marrin continued on outside to "come up along side Ava" though...))

Quote from Kaemgen >>

 But when MDK moves and then leads Marring through the main hall, Vonth follows.  

     "We don't want to join the party outside?" Vonth asks.  MDK, Marrin, it doesn't matter.  Vonth doesn't move to hide but neither does he move to a place to make his presence known to those outside.  He's just biding his time and waiting to see how it all plays out.

 
((But Vonth was sticking close to MDK and not looking to stick his neck out yet again... So wouldn't MDK and Vonth both still be inside the manor?  Vonth wasn't hiding from view but he wasn't exactly in the doorway waving hello either.  Or is it hailing inside as well?))

Vonth Dex save:  13 - so 4 cold damage taken

     Vonth deflects an arrow, sighs and rolls his eyes.  He raises his shield up over his head to try to deflect the hail but takes no other actions.

     "Leave me out of this, lady, I'm done with this lot and so have no beef with you.  They've abandoned, betrayed and backstabbed me every chance they got so if you don't mind I'll just be leaving and hope to never see any of you again..." he calls out loud enough to be heard by Talis.

     "And oh, your Major Damn Kobold is betraying you.  Even know he's scuttling away to enact some alliance he made with that one there," Vonth adds, nodding in Marrin's general direction.

DEX save: 10

Ava growls as the hail hits her, but when she hears Vonth, she turns in surprise.  "How did we do those things?  We are just trying to figure out what the hell is going on!" And when she hears Vonth betray Marrin, she finds herself at a complete loss.

(I'll have her do her turn, just surprised at this change)
